Team member @dtolnay has proposed to merge this. The next step is review by the rest of the tagged team members: No concerns currently listed. Once a majority of reviewers approve (and at most 2 approvals are outstanding), this will enter its final comment period. If you spot a major issue that hasn't been raised at any point in this process, please speak up! See this document for info about what commands tagged team members can give me. |

Is These methods, along with similar unstabilized ones, have unfortunately had a pretty rough time getting finalized. I added unresolved questions to the tracking issue at #27709 to list some of these concerns. Most relevant here:
There is a tool designed to check our IP methods against those from other languages, could you try to run it to see where we stand? https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/tree/main/tools/ipcheck?
It predates rust 1 :) #22015 also typo unqiue/unique if you were searching for that exact string. |

I ran the ipcheck tool, some of my changes I applied can be seen in my PR: rust-lang/libs-team#454 Complete output of a runFound Rust implementation.
Operations with only a Rust implementation:
SummaryAs far as I can see the difference in output in However since Rust went a different way anyway in handling these cases, I would recon that we can assume Rust is compatible with other languages, however there exists a pitfall. |
I'm open to discussion here. If you want to see how it looks, I could include it in this. |
